About this game

Challenge your mouse movement skills

NIOS is a free space racer demo built around one mechanic: pure mouse movement skill.

Race top-down through a 3D futuristic anti-gravity obstacle course. Outpace opponents, skirt the walls for speed boosts and bonus points, and rack up the highest score—but hit a wall and you pay the price.

Pure skill. Pure arcade.

About Demo

The free demo includes 5 routes out of over 100 in the full version.

Features

No buttons. No gamepad. Just pure mouse movement skill required!

A sport racing game designed to let you focus entirely on accurate mouse (or trackpad) control—managing both speed and direction through movement alone.

Steering Control

Your spaceship points toward the cursor and rotates around its vertical axis. This lets you stop or slow down suddenly.

For wide, precise turns, keep the cursor far from the spacecraft. For tight turns, keep it close.

Speed Control

Your spacecraft starts at moderate speed. Hug the side walls without hitting them to boost your speed and earn bonus points. Hit a wall and you'll lose points proportional to the impact force.

Warning: NIOS contains fast-moving imagery and visual effects including white flashes that may trigger seizures in people with photosensitive epilepsy.

The Map It will have up to 100 paths
